Power Shift 2009!

a Biblical thought...I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. (Psalm 139:14-16)

a Book thought...Every year there are more innovations and job categories. In this speeded-up world of constant change, it makes sense for all of us to be future makers and to conduct structured destinydialogues, derivation dialogues and destination dialogues, rather than be future-takers who opt for the best or even the least worse choice of what has been created by others. (p105)
